Jean de Jullienne (né Jean Jullienne; 29 November 1686 — 20 March 1766) was a French textile manufacturer, art collector, and amateur engraver, best remembered as a friend and protector of the painter Antoine Watteau. He was born and died in Paris.
He was the nephew of François Jullienne, who retired from business in 1729 and made Jean manager of the tapestry factory François had set up with his brother-in-law, Jean Glucq, near the Manufacture Royale des Gobelins.
After the death of Watteau, Jullienne contributed to his artistic legacy by issuing L'Oeuvre d'Antoine Watteau, a large set of engravings after Watteau.Eisler, Colin. “Two Immortalized Landscapes: Watteau and the Recueil Jullienne.” The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, vol. 24, no. 5, 1966, pp. 165–76.
